I believe the speed is calculated from the GPS - is that as accurate as traditional computers?
When comparing the traditional cyclocomputer (current speed, avg. speed, chrono, etc., etc.) is there anything in the 305 you wished was there?
Thanks!
i just got this computer a few weeks ago. while it's not perfect on elevation, it's pretty close. i would highly recommend it, especially with the current $75 rebate. i use it for both cycling and running. the cool thing about a gps based computer is that you can use it on multiple bikes. put it on your list, you won't be sorry.
